What To Expect
Pompeii Archaeological Park
Your day will begin with a visit in the Pompeii ruins, skipping the line into the site. Guided by an archaeologist, you’ll discover excavations and the secrets behind them that only an expert knows. During the tour, you’ll see the history of the town and how the Romans used to live. You will enter in their domus (ancient houses) and public buildings, creating an understanding of how they lived daily life.
Trecase
Finish the tour and you’ll continue your adventure in the Vesuvius National Park, where you’ll experience being close to nature, far from the city noise, surrounded by the sound of birds. Once you arrive at the ranch after a morning of walking, you’ll have time to relax and have a proper lunch made all by local products with homemade local wine! Then we will saddle up and jump on the horse to receive a little training. Once your comfortable, we will venture off into the park, taking in the sights, sounds and fresh scents of the land. The ride is suitable both for beginners and experts - we will be there to help you! You will receive a training and you'll be guided throughout this exciting excursion.

5.00Wonderful combination experience for our day trip to Pompeii! The tour guide at Pompeii was a treasure trove of fun facts about the city, and kept our teenager and 10 year old engaged throughout the tour. The trip to the vineyard afterward was amazing - we all enjoyed the wine tasting and accompanying charcuterie and pasta, and they even served my son "Coke 2024 Vintage" in his wine glass. The horseback riding at the end was amazing as well, although my son had an allergic reaction to the horses or something else in nature...but that said, the instructor was extremely attentive and helpful while we got him back to address it. Beautiful experience overall, and highly recommend doing the combo of Pompeii + vineyard/horses!
Visiting Pompei, riding...

5.00Visiting Pompei, riding horses on Mt. Vesuvius and enjoying local wine and a Chef's meal for lunch is exactly what you should do when you visit Italy. This was a professional and fun tour. The operators were efficient and made our day wonderful.
Half the group didn't want to ride horses but EVERYONE said it was the best part of the day!

5.00One of the best ways to see Naples! Several people in my group gave me a hard time about riding a horse, but later they told me it was one of the best parts of the day. Sofia was amazing in helping us plan. We were concerned about getting back to our cruise ship in time, so she offered to arrange a private driver at a reasonable cost and we did the horseback riding first, then joined the others for the rest of the tour. It worked out perfectly! (TIP: our driver held up a sign with "Taste the Experience" instead of our name, so there was a little bit of confusion in meeting.) The horses were at a private riding school, and the people there were so friendly and helpful. My daughter was very nervous about riding a horse and one of the workers walked with her the entire way. Our tour guide in Pompeii was AMAZING. She's a third generation local, and her passion for the place was unmatched. She gave us lots of interesting facts and made sure we stayed hydrated in the heat. Afterwards, we were driven to the beautiful winery, where we had a sommelier explain the wines and had a delicious lunch. The kids in the group had soft drinks. We bought a case of wine (they ship for free!) and enjoyed the view of Mt. Vesuvius in the background.
Great day out

5.00This was a unique way to visit Vesuvius and see the landscape - lunch was fantastic, so fresh and the wine was delicious. Bring water and a fan for visiting Pompeii, it gets very hot.
